Here's the only picture I have of the mounting tabs in the attached image below. They are very similar looking to the C5 and f-body PAB mounts. It looks like they may just bolt on, but I doubt it. The only way I know we could mount these is if we were to cut off the lower spindle ear and use this style of bracket.
I could probably modify this bracket by cutting off the 2 cylinders and moving their location and posibly their height and then weld them back on. I'm also going to ask this company if they can make a new bracket to fit this caliper based on their current forms. I may have to send them the calipers to mock them up with, but it would be worth it. It would be just as easy as installing a 13" rotor kit on your F-body. If you already have a 13" rotor kit then it's even easier.

I guess I don't understand what you guys need. Do you need me to remove my wheel and take pictures at all angles? It would only take 5 minutes. Now that the mortgage business id dead I have plenty of time on my hands.

I figured you might already have a few beauty shots through the rim so we can see what they look like mounted. The really important pics would have to be from the engine looking out. Also from the top or bottom so it shows the mounting tab offset. That would work. Do you mind taking the wheel off? It would really help me out.
I'd really like some pics of the calipers off the car so I can really see them, but I can't seem to find any. (No, I'm not asking you to take your calipers off) Has anyone seen pics of just the calipers on the web?
